On the whole, Speedball 2: Tournament is a solid game. It may have a few visual and aural quirks that may annoy some, but it makes up for it by doing what the original did all those years ago.

It does enough justice for the license to appeal to noobs and the elite alike.

With NeoWave as a clear-cut highlight of the KOF franchise, SNK is practically giving it away at the $19.99 price point. Snap it up.

Microbot's interesting premise, setting, and mechanics are undermined by several issues that cause the game to be more of a tedious chore than an enjoyable experience.

While the game was well paced, there wasn’t much depth to the individual gameplay facets used to break up regular running and gunning, and the lack of variety in weapons was disturbing for a shooter.

Escape from Paradise City is an enjoyable title that gets the player's hopes up that it may be something fresh and amusing, if campy. Sadly, it falls short with repetitive and sometimes unimaginative level design and a storytelling motif taken too far.

An incredibly lackluster game.

Buzz! Quiz World for the PSP had the potential to be a great compliment to the PS3 version by offering a similar but portable-friendly experience that fit the PSP well, but numerous annoyances, odd handling of the large pool of questions, and completely barren online play makes the group this game could appeal to a very small crowd.

Fracture is a good game, despite its flaws; and although it has a lot of lost potential in its story, its distinctive gameplay mechanics allow us to give it enough credit to say it’s worth checking out.

Order of the Phoenix is without a doubt the best entry in the Harry Potter game series to date.

A game with a niche concept and levels of simplicity that border on patronizing at times.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate, surprisingly, is not only better than a typical movie-licensed game, it’s better than a typical action game.

There are a couple of nice new features, but none of them make this installment a must buy.

Old-school tactical action fans may enjoy the extreme difficulty and high excitement level, although most players won’t be able to get past the technical deficiencies and been-there-done-that gameplay.

Do yourself a favor by renting this to see the end result of this port and put a bigger investment on the sequel instead.

At only four to five hours, The Force Unleashed II is hardly worth recommending to anyone. Even diehard Star Wars fans will find it hard to spend $60 on a game that is worse than its predecessor in nearly every aspect, including the one that matters the most, the story.

If you’re the unfortunate baseball fan without a PS3, PS2, or PSP, you’ll have to make do with whatever you’ve been playing until now to fill the void of good baseball games to play while those on the PS3 should not even go beyond the demo in consideration of getting this game.

Despite its shortcomings, Naruto: Ninja Destiny surprisingly handles itself real well and sets itself up for a follow-up that should knock everyone's socks off.

In a nutshell, Mega Man Star Force is an okay game, but it's just too much like the Battle Network games to really warrant a purchase. The story is all over the place, the graphics and sound look virtually unchanged, and the attempt at making a new battle system just seems a bit lazy.

Trapt is a fun diversion with unexplored potential. Unfortunately the poor camera system, lack of variety, clumsy AI, and graphical handicaps keep the game from achieving any type of noteworthy standing.

Dokapon Journey does a very good job of going beyond the stale and shallow standard that Mario Party has set for the party genre with a deeper RPG-style game that is made for better competition amongst friends than playing simple minigames over and over again.

A mediocre free-roaming action game, but it's still slightly better than some of its competitors within the genre.

Helix is an interesting title that makes good use of what the Wii is capable of. If you have some money to spend in the Wii Shop Channel and you're tired of doing nothing but watching Strong Bad on the WiiWare, you might want to give Helix a try... just remember that it's best to have two Wii Remotes.

To be quite frank, Sonic Unleashed is half great game, and half unnecessarily unleashed. The Sonic levels are extremely fun and bring back the memories of yesteryear, and the night-time levels will leave players wondering why Sonic Team continues to torture their fans by continuing to add pointless things to prolong good gameplay.

Right out of the box, My Pet Shop is a kiddy game that only kids will really enjoy.

Navigating your vehicles through the city streets feels good, but there is a sense of unbalance in the physics. You can drive at breakneck speeds, but if you hit a car stopped at a red light or a parked car, the feedback is like hitting a brick wall.

Madden NFL Arcade does a great job of providing a more casual, arcadey experience for football fans that long for the days that NFL Blitz ruled the arcade football genre many years ago.

What Enemy Territory: Quake Wars ends up being is a FPS with solid core gameplay of guns, vehicles, and equipment.
